NHTSA Ducati Monster recall - cracks in rims

[hillbillypolack]

Wow.  The fun just don't stop for Ducati recalls, does it?

Zero NHTSA recalls on the S2R and related fuel tanks, and TWO within the same model year in the Monster line alone.  Maybe they're learning that informing the owners is a good thing after all.

Not to fret, I'm sure Ducati will have a kit for that.

Just got a notice in the mail today.  They are recalling all 2011 and 2012 Monster 1100 evo rear rims.  States they are prone to to cracks developing on the rear spokes.  Contact the dealer you purchased from to have the rear wheel rim replaced with a new rim built to higher specifications.

NHTSA Campaign ID Number:  12V-073
Dealer Bulletin:  RCL-12-002

Stay safe,

Chris

I guess I was affected by the recall.  I got my letter today.   

Now I gotta figure out how to get it to the dealer that's 2 hours away.

I am waiting for this too, before bringing in mine for the cracked fuel lines ...

I'd book it in, but not take it down there until you were told that they had the pieces in stock!

Just ride it there.  If Ducati didn't think puffy, leaking fuel tanks were a concern, what's the big deal with cracked rims or cracked brake lines???

Got my notice yesterday.

Looks like I'm going to have a busy 600-mile service. I'll be driving away with a "higher specification" rear wheel rim, a fuel line that won't leak, and a new 14T sproket.   

[HotIce]

Got mine too ... time to head to the dealer with both of them ...

[Narflar]

What's this about the fuel line?  I never received that letter.

Fuel lines tend to crack and potentially spill fuel over the engine.

I just called my dealer, and he told me he has the wheel, but he has no "stickers".
He told the the red lines and branding on the wheel are just decal/stickers. Is that true, or BS?

probably true.

make sure he puts in writing whatever is missing

Called my dealer and same thing, said he had the wheels but not the stickers...he asked me if I just wanted them without them...I said NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Why would I want them without the stickers?

They are gonna call me when they get the stickers in....

[blass4u]

just dropped the monster off for a oil change and to see if I'll be getting a new rear rim. Has anyone heard rims coming apart while riding?
